Will there be a cockpit indication if the overwing door is not secured?

In the context of many aircraft systems, particularly under the operational protocols of Part 135, the cockpit indication regarding an unsecured overwing door is typically non-existent. This means that when the overwing door is not locked or secured properly, the pilots do not receive a warning light or message to indicate this condition while in flight or during taxi operations.

This design choice might stem from the fact that overwing doors, especially in aircraft designed for rapid changes in passenger composition or for emergency exits, are not integrated into the main cockpit warning systems due to their position and the nature of their operation.

Therefore, while there might be visual checks required during pre-flight or post-flight inspections, the absence of an active warning light or displayed message in the cockpit confirms that there is no automatic indication for an unsecured overwing door during regular flight operations.
